Second quarter 2018 net revenues were $615 million, up $19 million, or 3%, from $596 million in the prior year period. The second quarter increase in net revenues included a $40 million, or 7%, impact from organic growth, and a $6 million favorable impact from changes in foreign exchange rates, partially offset by a $27 million net negative impact from the divestiture of the Public Relations Solutions and Digital Media Services businesses and the inclusion of revenues from the acquisition of eVestment.

“I am pleased to see another period of strong organic growth in the second quarter of 2018, in particular the portion of that growth sourced from expanding the ways we serve our clients,” said Adena Friedman, President and CEO, Nasdaq. “Additionally, we are continuing to build for the future by strategically repositioning the company, as demonstrated by the completion of our business divestiture in April and our continued organic investments to implement the Nasdaq Financial Framework technology offering and advance our information services businesses.”

Mrs. Friedman continued, “Equally critical, our core marketplace trading and corporate franchises are not only operating with the resiliency, efficiency and profitability necessary to support our strategy, but are also finding opportunities to build on their strong competitive positioning, as illustrated by efforts to broaden the offerings to our broker dealer and corporate clients.”

GAAP operating expenses were $346 million in the second quarter of 2018, a decrease of $8 million from $354 million in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease primarily reflects lower merger and strategic initiatives expense and lower general and administrative expense, partially offset by higher compensation and benefits expense. Non-GAAP operating expenses were $325 million in the second quarter of 2018, an increase of $14 million, or 5%, compared to the second quarter of 2017. This reflects a $16 million organic expense increase, primarily related to compensation and benefits expense, computer operations and data communications expense, as well as depreciation expense, a $20 million increase from acquisitions, and a $4 million unfavorable impact from changes in foreign exchange rates, partially offset by a $26 million decrease due to the divestiture of the Public Relations Solutions and Digital Media Services businesses.

“By completing the divestiture and making meaningful progress on our plan to return net proceeds to shareholders, we have continued optimizing our resources to better support our new strategic direction, a process that began with the acquisition of eVestment and the re-balancing of our organic investment spending towards higher growth opportunities,” said Michael Ptasznik, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Nasdaq. “While second quarter results delivered both top and bottom line increases, they also reflect the temporary impacts of eVestment’s purchase price adjustment on deferred revenue and residual expenses of the divested businesses. These two items together lowered our non-GAAP operating margin by approximately 2%, and our non-GAAP EPS by approximately 5%, and thus we expect to see a more complete picture of the financial benefits of the strategic repositioning in future periods.”

On a GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter of 2018 was $162 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, compared to $146 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2017.

On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter of 2018 was $198 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, compared with $170 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2017.

At June 30, 2018, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $322 million and total debt of $3,847 million, resulting in net debt of $3,525 million. This compares to total debt of $4,207 million and net debt of $3,830 million at December 31, 2017.

Share repurchases totaled $241 million during the second quarter of 2018, above typical quarters, due to the company’s progress in returning the net proceeds of our divestiture to shareholders. As of June 30, 2018, there was $386 million remaining under the board authorized share repurchase program.

UPDATING 2018 NON-GAAP EXPENSE GUIDANCE3

The company is updating its 2018 non-GAAP operating expense guidance to $1,310 to $1,335 million versus prior expense guidance of $1,295 to $1,335 million, reflecting in part the strong organic growth in the first six months of the year, and the impact this has on performance-linked compensation plans.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

Market Services (39% of total net revenues) – Net revenues were $237 million in the second quarter of 2018, up $15 million, or 7%, when compared to the second quarter of 2017.

Equity Derivatives Trading and Clearing (12% of total net revenues) – Net equity derivative trading and clearing revenues were $72 million in the second quarter of 2018, up $5 million compared to the second quarter of 2017.

Cash Equity Trading (12% of total net revenues) – Net cash equity trading revenues were $71 million in the second quarter of 2018, up $7 million from the second quarter of 2017. This increase primarily reflects higher U.S. market share and a higher net capture rate.

The change primarily reflects a $6 million organic increase, resulting from client adoption of our all-inclusive annual listing fee program, partially offset by the run-off of fees earned from listing of additional shares.

Corporate Solutions (9% of total net revenues) – Corporate solutions revenues were $59 million in the second quarter of 2018, up $2 million from the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to $1 million of organic growth in board and leadership revenues.

Market Data (16% of total net revenues) – Market data revenues were $98 million in the second quarter of 2018, up $8 million compared to the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to $6 million of organic growth from higher revenues from proprietary market data and higher collections related to unreported usage, and a $2 million favorable impact from changes in foreign exchange rates.

Index (8% of total net revenues) – Index revenues were $50 million in the second quarter of 2018, up $7 million from the second quarter of 2017, driven by organic growth from higher assets under management (AUM) in exchange traded products (ETPs) linked to Nasdaq indexes and higher licensing revenues from futures trading volume related to the Nasdaq 100 Index.

Investment Data and Analytics (4% of total net revenues) – Investment data and analytics revenues were $27 million in the second quarter of 2018, up $16 million from the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to a $17 million impact from the acquisition of eVestment net of a $7 million purchase price adjustment on deferred revenue during the period.

Market Technology (11% of total net revenues) – Revenues were $66 million in the second quarter of 2018, up $8 million, or 14%, from the second quarter of 2017, driven by organic growth in delivery and support revenues and higher software as a service revenues.

Other Revenues (1% of total net revenues) - Other revenues include the revenues from the Public Relations Solutions and Digital Media Services businesses for the period until we closed the sale to West Corporation in April 2018. Prior to the sale date, these revenues were included in our Corporate Solutions business.

CORPORATE HIGHLIGHTS

Nasdaq further advances its strategic repositioning in the second quarter of 2018 by completing the sale of its Public Relations Solutions and Digital Media Services businesses. The company completed the sale of its Public Relations Solutions and Digital Media Services businesses to West Corporation in April 2018, which follows the announcement in September 2017 to reorient the company, further strengthen its focus on clients and elevate financial performance. To achieve these objectives, the company is rebalancing its organic investments to focus more on the higher growth opportunities while becoming more transparent around capital objectives to drive returns for shareholders.

The Nasdaq Stock Market led U.S. exchanges for IPOs in the second quarter of 2018 with a 74% win rate, while strong Nordic listings growth continued. In the U.S. market, The Nasdaq Stock Market welcomed 89 new listings in the second quarter of 2018, including 56 IPOs. The U.S. IPO win rate totaled 74% during the second quarter of 2018 and 69% during the first six months of 2018. Highlights from the second quarter included the DocuSign, Carbon Black, Uxin and GreenSky IPO’s as well as listing switches to The Nasdaq Stock Market by Extended Stay America and Avnet. Nasdaq’s Nordic, Baltic and First North exchanges experienced 29 new listings including 22 IPOs and 6 upgrades from First North to Main Market, bringing total Nordic-listed companies at June 30, 2018 to 1,008, an increase of 7% from June 30, 2017.

Market Technology order intake totaled $109 million during the first six months of 2018, up 18% compared to the first six months of 2017. New deals were signed in the second quarter to provide post-trade technology to the National Stock Exchange of India, or NSE, and the SIX Swiss Exchange, each leveraging the Nasdaq Financial Framework. Nasdaq also experienced continued strong growth in its SMARTS surveillance business with new customers in various customer classes including regulators, exchanges, broker-dealers and asset managers. Lastly, the company is also advancing its “markets economy” strategy of delivering leading marketplace solutions to clients outside of traditional financial markets, including in the crypto-currency space, where Nasdaq now has five customers who will be leveraging our market technology for trading, clearing or surveillance.

Nasdaq maintains strong competitive positioning in our Market Services segment and executed a new record closing cross during the June Russell index re-balance. In the second quarter of 2018, the combined U.S. equities matched market share executed on Nasdaq’s exchanges total 19.1%,1 while market share in the Nordic markets totaled 66.9%. In June 2018, Nasdaq’s Closing Cross set a record for number of shares traded during the 2018 Russell U.S. indexes reconstitution, including 1.188 billion shares representing $39 billion in value, all of which was executed in less than one second.

NON-GAAP INFORMATION

In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Nasdaq also discloses certain non-GAAP results of operations, including, but not limited to, net income attributable to Nasdaq, diluted earnings per share, operating income, and operating expenses, that include certain adjustments or exclude certain charges and gains that are described in the reconciliation table of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP information provided at the end of this release. Management uses this non-GAAP information internally, along with U.S. GAAP information, in evaluating our performance and in making financial and operational decisions. We believe our presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and supplemental data relating to our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we believe the presentation of these measures is useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of results as the items described below do not reflect ongoing operating performance.

These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, U.S. GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure when evaluating our business. We recommend investors review the U.S. GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release. When viewed in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, we believe these non-GAAP measures provide greater transparency and a more complete understanding of factors affecting our business than U.S. GAAP measures alone.

We understand that analysts and investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP net income attributable to Nasdaq, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating expenses to assess operating performance. We use these measures because they highlight trends more clearly in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on U.S. GAAP financial measures, since these measures eliminate from our results specific financial items that have less bearing on our ongoing operating performance.

Amortization expense of acquired intangible assets: We amortize intangible assets acquired in connection with various acquisitions. Intangible asset amortization expense can vary from period to period due to episodic acquisitions completed, rather than from our ongoing business operations. As such, if intangible asset amortization is included in performance measures, it is more difficult to assess the day-to-day operating performance of the businesses, the relative operating performance of the businesses between periods and the earnings power of Nasdaq. Performance measures excluding intangible asset amortization expense therefore provide investors with a more useful representation of our businesses’ ongoing activity in each period.

Merger and strategic initiatives expense: We have pursued various strategic initiatives and completed a divestiture and a number of acquisitions in recent years which have resulted in expenses which would not have otherwise been incurred. These expenses generally include integration costs, as well as legal, due diligence and other third party transaction costs. The frequency and the amount of such expenses vary significantly based on the size, timing and complexity of the transaction. Accordingly, we exclude these costs for purposes of calculating non-GAAP measures which provide a more meaningful analysis of Nasdaq’s ongoing operating performance or comparison in Nasdaq’s performance between periods.

Other significant items: We have excluded certain other charges or gains, including certain tax items, that are the result of other non-comparable events to measure operating performance. We believe the exclusion of such amounts allows management and investors to better understand the ongoing financial results of Nasdaq. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, other significant items included the gain on divestiture of businesses, net which pertains to the sale of the Public Relations Solutions and Digital Media Services businesses and a charge associated with a sales and use tax audit which relates to prior periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, other significant items included a sublease loss reserve charge recorded on space we currently occupy due to excess capacity and for the three months ended June 30, 2017, other significant items included loss on extinguishment of debt and wind down costs associated with an equity method investment that was previously written off.

Significant tax items: The adjustment to the income tax provision includes the tax impact of each non-GAAP adjustment. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, the adjustment to the income tax provision includes a $3 million increase to tax expense due to a remeasurement of our unrecognized tax benefits and for the three months ended June 30, 2017, includes a $4 million decrease to tax expense due to a remeasurement of our unrecognized tax benefits. Additional adjustments include the following items:

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a reversal of previously recognized Swedish tax benefits, due to unfavorable court rulings received by other Swedish entities during the three months ended June 30, 2018, the impact of which relates to prior periods.

The impact of the newly enacted U.S. tax legislation is related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which was enacted on December 22, 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded an increase to tax expense of $5 million, which reflects the reduced federal tax benefit associated with state unrecognized tax benefits. This amount may be refined in the future as new information becomes available.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded excess tax benefits of $5 million related to employee share-based compensation which reflects the recognition of income tax effects of share-based awards when awards vest or are settled. This item is subject to volatility and will vary based on the timing of the vesting of employee share-based compensation arrangements and fluctuation in our stock price.

Foreign exchange impact: In countries with currencies other than the U.S. dollar, revenues and expenses are translated using monthly average exchange rates. Certain discussions in this release isolate the impact of year-over-year foreign currency fluctuations to better measure the comparability of operating results between periods. Operating results excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations are calculated by translating the current period’s results by the prior period’s exchange rates.
